So much drama at work
Is it me, am I the problem
So few fucks to give
#haikuaday

JamieArc I wish I could send you a back of little wooden fucks to keep at work. Move them from one jar to the next when you are losing fucks to give. I was just given some to keep at my desk and it‘s a great visual reminder for where I‘m at 😂 1w

https://x.com/stukershaw/status/1373035655291412480?lang=en 1w

vivastory @CBee @Jamiearc Lolol Gmail notification “Jar of Fucks“ might be the best notification I've ever received 😅 1w

vivastory @CBee @jamiearc I was honestly tempted by the “Nothing To Give“ jar, but profanity won out in the end lolol 1w

TheBookHippie @JamieArc I have these… 1w

JamieArc @vivastory I‘m so glad I could help 😂 I have them on my desk, but hide them when the dean stops by for a visit 😁 1w

JamieArc @vivastory That tweet 😆😆. I took a screenshot. 1w

TheBookHippie @vivastory Ed and Alicia in concert are good drinking games for saying it. Ha. However Rolling Stones had a few last time we saw them… 1w

vivastory @TheBookHippie Did I see correctly that you caught Pearl Jam live recently?! If so, that's incredible. The first CD I bought was VS (i think that @cbee & I are roughly the same age) (edited) 1w

TheBookHippie @vivastory I‘ve seen Pearl Jam more times than I can count over 30 years- because love. I just saw them in August. I would have been this past month but my son has all special events. I‘m a groupie🤣🤣🤣 1w

TheBookHippie @vivastory you coulda gotten in with me and my peeps at lollapolooza!!!!! Oy!!!! 1w

JamieArc @TheBookHippie I‘m a big Glen Hansard fan. I saw him a couple years ago at the Meijer gardens and it was one of the best concerts I‘ve been to, in part because it was raining and he made it so fun. 1w

TheBookHippie @JamieArc we adore him -I‘ve now seen him four times!!! He has a new album next month in case you didn‘t know!! 1w

dabbe @TheBookHippie Oh, are there stories involved? Or involvements? #dyingtoknow I still pant over him--even his 76-year-old gnarly ass! 🤣 1w

TheBookHippie @dabbe she would never say 🤣 1w

AmyG I am so sorry. Everyone who has ever worked on anything anywhere….has had drama. People, honestly, can be insufferable and that number rises daily. @JamieArc Thank you for that…my new favorite gift. 1w

dabbe @TheBookHippie I can only imagine! 🤣 1w

vivastory @JamieArc “Falling Slowly“ is one of my most frequently listened to songs 💙 7d

Bookwormjillk Am I the only one that thinks Walter and Marian would make a much better couple? 3mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I totally agree, they are much more suited to each other 3mo

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk You are not the only one! 3mo

dabbe @mcctrish Such a narcissistic wimp! 3mo

dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly Good one! 🤩 3mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Nope. Laura just lies around, saying “Ah is me.“ She's the typical #damselindistress Marian is so much more interesting! 🤩 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Oh, they would be! They work together really well. I suspect it is an Elinor Dashwood and Colonel Brandon type of situation… 3mo

mcctrish I ship Waltarian/Marialter completely @Bookwormjillk also @Clare-Dragonfly despite the menacing tone of the letter I did laugh out loud at #manofaction @dabbe I‘d lose my marbles too if no one believed me that I was me especially my stupid fucking uncle but I‘d burn his house to the ground cuz if I‘m dead who can make me pay #letsgohauntunclenervous 3mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I thought the same thing 3mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk that might be a whole other book 🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 3mo

dabbe @mcctrish I think if we ripped up his drawings/sketches or whatever-the-hell they are, he'd die instantly of an aneurysm. #unclenervousnelly 3mo

mcctrish @dabbe we ride at dawn 3mo

dabbe @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣 3mo

BarbaraJean @Bookwormjillk You‘re not wrong about Marian, but according to Walter “the lady is ugly!” 🙄 3mo

BarbaraJean @Bookwormjillk @mcctrish @dabbe We have our fanfic title ready: “Dead Ladies Can‘t Do Crimes: We Ride at Dawn.” Who‘s gonna write it? I‘m first in line to read! 3mo

Leftcoastzen I‘m so mad at all of them ! #greedyPercy #ManofAction #unclenervousnelly 3mo

ElizaMarie @BarbraJean @Boomwormjillk @mcctrish @dabbe - I‘d read that book!!!! 3mo

dabbe @BarbaraJean @Bookwormjillk OMG, this is #perfection! 🤩🤣🤩 I say @mcctrish can start it because she had the best line: “We ride at dawn.“ 🤩 3mo

mcctrish What. The. Hell. 3mo

Leftcoastzen Maybe one of those poisons that makes you seem dead but you are not ? I went through all the stages of grief. He would get the money but it probably be worth it to be rid of him . 3mo

BarkingMadRead @Leftcoastzen I wondered the same thing, I can‘t wait to see what happens next! 3mo

dabbe I recall #porkchop hinting to #percypig that he had a plan re: the likeness between Anne and Laura. This must be it. Anne's the one with the heart problem, so Anne's the one who died at #porkchop's place. Laura has to be the one alive and the one that Walter met in the cemetery with Marian. Now we need to fill in how she got there. @Bookwormjillk: #soapoperaindeed

I feel like I'm playing CLUE: Laura is in the library with the wrench .... 🤣 3mo

dabbe Just read this from good ol' Wikipedia; it definitely confirms the soap-operaness of this novel! 🤩
“Collins's works were classified at the time as sensation novels, a genre that became the precursor to detective and suspense fiction. He also wrote penetratingly on the plight of women and on the social and domestic issues of his time.“ 3mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe for real! Total telenovella, this is CLUE, the movie 🤣 3mo

Bookwormjillk @dabbe ohhhh good theory. And the flowers did something right? Pork Chop did it in the bedroom with the bouquet. 3mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk #perfection 🤩🤩🤩 3mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead Circa 1860s. 🤩🤣🤩 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly Twin switch! I knew it!!!! @dabbe That‘s exactly how I think it went! (edited) 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Yesssss 😂 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly I love the inclusion of “the narrative of the tombstone.” So dramatic! So fitting for the way the novel is told! So unexpected! 3mo

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly yes the tombstone part was A+ 3mo

ElizaMarie #JawDropped 🫢 3mo

KAO I did not see that coming!! (But in retrospect probably should have!) 3mo

julieclair I've never thought of flowers as a murder weapon, lol. (Except maybe when consumed as poison.) 💐☠️ 3mo

BarkingMadRead @julieclair when I think of flowers I think of Carol on the walking dead #lookattheflowers 3mo

AllDebooks I liked the characters and found them relatable. Gradgrind's change of heart and mind over how he raised his children was telling, particularly with how emotionally stunted they grew up to be after a diet of FACTS. 4mo

AllDebooks Bounderby was a blustering, pantomime figure and I couldn't rrad about him without thinking about Monty Python's sketch of Yorkshiremen competing over who had this poorest childhood. https://youtu.be/VAdlkunflRs?si=45rddY_grpd-J2Wd 4mo

dabbe @AllDebooks 😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing that link! #perfection Plus, what a flippin' hypocrite who was finally exposed by his own mother! He was an absolute arse who deserved everything he got at the end. 4mo

dabbe I think the characters were allegories. Examples:
Thomas GradGRIND: the embodiment of the cold, fact-based approach to education and life.
Mr. Bounderby: a symbol of the way industrialists of Dickens‘s time inflated their stories of achievement while ignoring the inequalities of the poor whose hard work allowed them to succeed.
Stephen Blackpool & Rachael: their personal struggles seem largely symbolic of the horrific plight of the working poor. 4mo

Lcsmcat @AllDebooks ❤️ the Monty Python reference! 4mo

Lcsmcat I felt the characters in HT were a little less realistic than some of Dickens‘ characters, but for the purposes of this story, they worked. And some of them showed growth and change, so not complete allegories or caricatures. 4mo
